Texas Aggies Go To War - From Texas to Bastogne
On December 12, 2014 the Bastogne War Museum opened its newest temporary exhibit—Texas Aggies Go To War as part of its commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. After a very successful run in Belgium, it will be coming home to Texas A&M.
A full scale presentation of the Bastogne exhibit will be on display on the Texas A&M campus from August through December 2017 in the J Wayne Stark Gallery. The exhibit tells the stories of five former students of Texas A&M University who each had a role in the pivotal battle which led to the Allied victory in Europe.
These five—James Hollingsworth ‘40, Turney Leonard ‘42, Willie Peña ‘42, Joe Routt ’37 and Earl Rudder ’32 —are representative not only of all Aggies, but all Americans, who served in World War II. Through them a story is told of dedication, sacrifice, reconciliation, healing, and deep ties, both personal and economic, between people an ocean apart.
The items that are listed for sale were part of the Gift Shop in Bastogne, Belgium and they represent our fundraising campaign to support this magnificent exhibit and a future permanent location in the Brazos Valley to tell other stories of the service and sacrifice of the citizen soldier.
Gig 'em! And thank you! ALL proceeds go to the Texas Aggies Go To War Committee.
